💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐘💩 In a 15-year field #experiment at #Mpala, #Kenya, researchers built fences to keep #elephants out and watched what happened.
Without elephant dung to eat, dung #beetle populations collapsed, resulting in 23% fewer species and 67% fewer individuals. The #study, led by Finote Gijsman, is the first large-scale #demonstration that protecting elephants also protects everything that depends on them.

I've been thinking all week about the work that @kandid@chaos.social published last week. The spiral is particularly fetching.
I want it to see it rotating and tried animating it, but it turns out that the barber-pole illusion makes it very difficult.

This is just a test. Again, the original picture is by @kandid@chaos.social. Kudos to Thomas for his wonderful work.
